Spookiest Films of All Time

Claiming to be a fearless soul? We all instantaneously muster up
the extensive valor to watch scary movies especially during the Halloween
season. After all, it is real fun to spook your friends--including yourself, just
admit it--to keep up with the chilling atmosphere. Armed with a resourceful (or
otherwise) costume and a bag of mouthwatering goodies from your eventful trick
or treat, let’s see if you can bare these frightening films alone or with peers
during Halloween night!

1.The
Shining is a 1980 adaptation of Stephen King’s 1977 illustrious
horror novel of the same name. It focuses on a determined writer
and recovering alcoholic who works as a custodian at a historic hotel during
the off season. He settles in with his wife and son who is besieged by psychic
visions. As his son’s premonitions become more difficult, he
realizes the hotel's horrifying past and starts turning into a murderous maniac
bound to torment his loved ones. The film epitomizes sublime fragments of jump
scare: the captivating visuals and
musical scoring, the improvisation of the memorable and startling quote: "Here's
Johnny!", and the eerie young twin sisters on the
corridor lingered in most people’s nightmares and significantly impressed them.
The Shining is hailed by critics, and has become a core of
today’s pop culture. Mathematicians at London's King's College utilized
statistical figuring in a research mandated by Sky Movies to determine that The
Shining was the "perfect scary movie" because of its precise harmony
of different aspects such as impact, suspense, and gore. It stars the infamous method
actor Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall, and Danny Lloyd.The creepy movie trailer may be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S014oGZiSdI.

Stanley
Kubrick’s 1980 horror film, “The Shining” is highly regarded to be one the
scariest horror films of all time.

2.The
Ring is a 1998 Japanese paranormal and mind-altering horror film.
Adapted from the 1991 novel of the same name by Koji Suzuki, as well as the
Japanese folk tale Banchō Sarayashiki, a Japanese myth of fragmented faith
and vows resulting to a desolate fate, the movie centers
on a reporter who probes the mystery behind a cursed videotape that kills the
watcher 7 days after viewing it. The movie became
the highest grossing horror film in Japan, was critically praised by
reviewers, and garnered immense following in the
West. The unanticipated twist in the story and the never-ending goosebumps
caused by “Sadako”, the vengeful ghost with her long straight black hair covering
her face and dirty long white dress while crawling out of the static television
screen and that spooky phone call with the screeching sound after watching the
videotape paved its status as one of the most petrifying films of all time. It generated
several follow-ups and started a trend of Western reprises, beginning with the
2002 American version. The haunting movie

3.Get Out is a
2017 American horror film written and directed by comedian Jordan Peele in his directorial debut. It revolves on an African-American
photographer who unravels a troubling secret when he meets the “liberal” family
of his Caucasian girlfriend. It stars the remarkable British actor Daniel Kaluuya, Allison
Williams, and Catherine Keener. The movie is often considered as one of the
greatest horror thrillers of modern American cinema. It is a brilliant allegory
on racism and is a political satire on post-Obama America. It successfully
triggered the trend of smart horror films (cue John Krasinski’s “A Quiet
Place”) with low-key but poignant and frightening narratives with a small budget
that can still make you think. It instills dread on Hollywood that loves
remakes and recycled superheroes. At the 2018 Academy Awards, Get Out won the celebrated Academy
Award for Best Original Screenplay. As
Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian cleverly summarized: “[Get Out] is a mainstream
feature film bold enough, tactless enough, irresponsible enough to invoke race
outside the solemn confines of documentary…The point is that Get Out takes
pessimism and converts it into defiance – and laughs.” The terrifying movie trailer may be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzfpyUB60YY&t=1s.
